Ellen and Bob went to Olive Garden for dinner. Ellen’s dinner costs $24.95 and Bob’s dinner costs $21.95. If they leave an 18% tip, what is the total cost of their dinner, including tip? (Round your answer to the nearest cent, and do not include the $ sign.)

55.34

Step-by-step explanation:

24.95 + 21.95 = 46.90

46.90 x 18%

18% = .18

46.90 x 18 = 8.442

8.44 = cost of tip

8.44 + 46.90 = 55.34

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
